adorable pumpkins and patches

It’s nearly time for Halloween. Surprisingly it has spread also to China – at least among us foreigners and so there are a couple of party options to choose from. And I’ve got couple of little pumpkins we can carve, so this year we will have a Chinese Halloween. Very exciting!

These beautiful images come from California and Half Moon Bay, which is an area know for having plenty of pretty pumpkin patches, haunted houses and rides this time of the year. And even better, one can do a stroll on the beach, do some kids activities and enjoy a lovely lunch with some shopping in the pretty little downtown of Half Moon Bay – a perfect day for the whole family.

Love it! And interesting to hear of Halloween spreading to China. I associate it so much with Catholicism, being that I went to a parochial school and we got All Saint’s Day (Nov. 1) off, that it’s intriguing to think of Chinese ghost mythology being incorporated into these traditions. My boss is in Hong Kong – I’ll have her watch out for any Halloween displays.

rktrixy – similar days are marked in calendars in many countries like my home country Finland, but it’s mainly been a quiet day where people take candles to the graves of their family members. But Halloween has been slowly making its way there too..
